An interesting statistic that has little to nothing to do with Bernie as the poll was in 2015:
Democratic - Republican Identification Near Historic Lows

Wonder what it is today? Maybe if people don't like the job Bernie is doing for the Democratic party, then they need to be out there doing it themselves, hammering home the policies they support every chance they get. Where are they all? Just because someone is a leader of a committee doesn't mean they should be doing all the work and everyone else can just slack off.
If there is no corruption within the party, prove it to people with actions and voting records. Otherwise, it's just all talk and people aren't going to be convinced. I don't need to convince you of party corruption...but you may need to convince people like me that the corruption isn't there and to continue to vote for Democrats.
I may be registered Democrat now but that doesn't mean that I am automatically going to vote for any random person with a D next to their name. They still have to earn the vote. Surely, I'm not alone with that idea.
